EASY RAWLINS IS BACK. The iconic detective who leapt to fame in DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS returns.
New York Times bestseller Walter Mosley's sizzling new novel pits Easy Rawlins against his greatest ever challenge.
Situationen synes ikke at være til at tage fejl af, da den underskønne Chrystal Tyler kommer ind på McGills kontor med et bundt pengesedler og et problem, der skal løses: en utro mand, der truer med at slå hende ihjel. Der er imidlertid mere end et klassisk hårdkogt krimiplot under opsejling i denne den tredje roman i York Times-bestseller-serien om den grovkornede antihelt og eksbokser, New Yorker-detektiven Leonid McGill. Parallellen virker ubehageligt slående, da McGill opdager at hans kone Katrina ligeledes er ham utro, og i takt med, at sønnen Twill begynder at udvikle småkriminelle tendenser, ser det i det hele taget sort ud med familieidyllen, - ikke mindst når McGills bedste ven samtidig ligger kræftsyg på sofaen. Komplikationerne står i kø og McGill navigerer rundt mellem urimeligt mange forhindringer, på kanten til kaos. Trods gode intentioner må han erkende, at det er lettere sagt end gjort at gå fra bad guy til good guy. Han slås til stadighed med løgn, bedrag og genfærd fra fortiden. New Yorker-forfatteren Walter Mosley får her i den grad sat sin helt på prøve og folder sig samtidig ud som en mesterplotter af rang. New York Blues er kompleks og ambitiøs, mesterligt arrangeret og godt skruet sammen. Serien om Leonid McGill der allerede prises som en klassiker indenfor moderne noir har nu fået fodfæste på dansk grund. Et forfatterskab er slået an og Danmark har i McGill fået en ny hårdkogt krimi-darling.
Krimi. McGill modtager et suspekt opkald, der fører ham hen på en adresse i et af New Yorks bedre kvarterer for at undersøge, om en pige ved navn Angelique er okay. På adressen finder han liget af en pige, der er blevet brutalt myrdet, men den myrdede pige er ikke Angelique.McGill må på en eller anden måde få fat i Angelique før den ukendte morder. Men hvorfor har så mange og forskelligartede mennesker pludselig interesse i at finde en tilsyneladende helt almindelig pige?Walter Mosley er her igen på banen sammen med sin grovkornede og charmerende antihelt, detektiven og eksbokseren, Leonid McGill. Lyssky sager i dunkle afkroge af New York bliver undersøgt uden frygt for selv at tage del i de brutale sider af dem.NEW YORK MORDENE er anden bog i en serie, der allerede prises som klassiker inden for moderne noir.WALTER MOSLEY (f. 1952), amerikansk krimiforfatter.

Han er dog nået til et punkt i sit liv, hvor han forsøger at gøre op med sin småkriminelle fortid og komme på ret spor efter et helt liv i skyggen. Det viser sig at være vanskeligere end først antaget.Da han får til opgave at opspore fire unge mænd alene ud fra deres street names, stiller han ingen spørgsmål, men da deres lig efterfølgende begynder at dukke op et for et, ser han sig pludselig nødsaget til at tage stilling til en by, der ikke er, hvad den giver sig ud for at være.
